Top six shirtless men

Gone are the days of the hairy Bollywood hero, who covered his hirsute torso (or even back) with eye-wateringly ugly shirts. Not that we're complaining.

After all, whatever we may say about wanting real and not metrosexual men, we also don't want cavemen.

So now that Hindi films are full of waxed, shaved or electrolisized men, with many a chest hair between them, they're plenty of eye-candy for us women.

Especially when they're running. In slo-mo.

We've put together a list of these waxed, shaved or electrolisized men that we love (and would love to date):

Mr Kaminey

Shahid Kapoor has come a long way since his Ishq Vishq days. Of course, he had a ripple of a muscle even then, but like good wine, he's matured with age and looks H.O.T in the promo shots for Kaminey (remember the scene where he's running with the horse!).

Bachna ae haseeno

Ranbir Kapoor in shorts but no shirt in Bachna Ae Haseeno didn't just melt Bipasha Basu's heart. The scion of the Kapoor clan got himself quite a large following as he danced about his bachelor pad, pecs on display. Sigh.

Mr Beefcake

Saif Ali Khan is definitely one of Bollywood's beefcakes. The buff star set hearts racing as he danced, shirtless of course, with Preity Zinta in Salaam Namaste and Kareena in Tashan and seduced Bipasha in Race. (Has anyone noticed that Bips gets all the shirtless men?)

Chocolate boy

With his chocolate boy looks and well-muscled arms, Imran Khan has sent many a tween into a swoon. After all, how can any teen (and the odd twenty-year-old) resist a bare-chested Khan playing psycho kidnapper-turned-good guy in Kidnap?

We wish he'd taken his shirt of in Luck too, it would have made an otherwise bad movie at least bearable.

Muscle man

Hrithik Roshan, of the rippling, well-oiled muscles and torso in Dhoom 2 and Jodha-Akhbar, has set impossibly high standards for fit, yummy bodies in Bollywood. Rumour has it that the star also strips down to his waist for a steamy scene with Barbara Mori in his upcoming film Kites.

Adonis

He might not be the world's best actor, but we tend to forgive Arjun Rampal for any career bloopers all because of his beautiful face and broad chest. A girl could transfer all her problems onto his wide, capable-looking shoulders.

Buffcake

John Abraham in Dostana gave women a lot to sigh over. He reminded us of what are boyfriends/husbands sometimes aren't: In shape. And with his strong, sinewy arms and broad shoulders, he looked like he could save us from the big, bad world. Abraham's possibly the very image of every girl's Mr Right.

Have we missed anyone? Leave a comment and tell us!
